Yes, I understand that other countries.... China has talked about being there. Other countries are looking at it, such as South Korea and Colombia, and also others that aren't in it but are looking at it. I welcome that opportunity. I hope everybody takes it seriously, as we need to move forward. As you rightly point out, it will be a huge opportunity missed if we don't.
You also made some comments about the ASEAN group of countries. We trade with them as well, but not through a free trade agreement. I think it's very important that we move to that, ratify the TPP with or without the U.S., and then move to Canada as a component of an ASEAN group agreement as well. That's probably the fastest way that we'd get involved with India. We've had several tables with India, but that's never really gone anywhere. Moving into agreements that are already set is always better.
I know that Minister Freeland has made comments about ASEAN. I was wondering if you know of anything that's starting to happen in that regard, such as a complementarities study and that type of thing.
